They require a bit of messing with to make them do what you want. Everyone's tone is different, and your tone is really in your head and your hands (to quote Brent Mason). It seems to me that we're talking about presets. If I'm treading on convention, then I apologize, but in my defense, I've been playing through Digitech equipment for the last 25 years, so I'm maybe giving myself a bit of leeway. And because I can't really tell that much difference in echoes and reverbs in front of the amp or in the loop, and I can tell a BIG difference between the other effects in same, I usually go through the front of the amp. So it's always been a 'lesser of the two evils' thing for me.

Echoes and reverbs have always sounded better to me run through the effects loop of an amp, while distortion and chorus and pretty much everything else sound better to me run though the front of the amp. I am sure that you know the difference, Hellion, just wanted to get it out there.Well, that's true, and it's not, really. They are meant to be preamps and should therefore go into a power amp. That's why I often hate the way things are set up at music stores, because everyone just uses modeling preamps or preamps in a can like the Tech 21 Character series right into an amp's input. If you have amp modeling on and go into the front of an amp, it is going to be tin city. Whenever you use them with amp modeling, you have to go into an amps effects return.
